SCOAF Publishes its Annual Report 2024

ARMED FORCES COMPLAINTS SYSTEM NOT YET EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE OR FAIR - BUT “SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE” SAYS OMBUDSMAN 

 

  • Improvements have been made in certain areas such as the flexibility and proportionality of investigations, and openness and transparency of the system. 

  • However, the overall efficiency has dropped in 2024 and there are still concerns around the experiences of those individuals who raise complaints about bullying, harassment and discrimination. 

  • The Ombudsman has made two new recommendations to enable the Ministry of Defence to focus on improved efficiency.
